openssl-3.0.8: meson.build:314:15: Exception: C static library 'ws2_32' not found

[kasper93]

ws2_32 static does not exists and cannot be found. There is a workaround for compiler.get_id() == 'msvc'. It is not enough, it also fails with x86_64-pc-windows-msvc clang build.

	foreach library: openssl_libraries
	# MSVC fails with "ERROR: C static library 'ws2_32' not found" when `static` is specified at all
	if compiler.get_id() == 'msvc'
	dependencies += [
	compiler.find_library(library),
	]
	else
	dependencies += [
	compiler.find_library(
	library,
	static: get_option('default_library') == 'static',
	),
	]
	endif
	endforeach

EDIT: I've actually reported checking only issues, but not PRs, it seems to be known issue #483 for quite some time.

Posted issue, because at least currently on my system, there is generic issue with static mesonbuild/meson#13204
